What storage device records data magnetically and is most often used for backups?
Hdd
Where is the data storage device located in the vehicle?
Most modern cars store a small amount of information about the operation of the car in the same module that contains the car's engine control computer. This is usually located under the "hood" in the engine compartment. Most cars have a plud under the dashboard on the driveer's side of the car to access the storage device and "read the codes" and other information the car stores about recent operation and performance.
What is a Storage device that typically uses flash memory to store data instructions and information?
This is a very general question. There are many types of data storage devices, but the most common storage device that holds data instructions and information we think about today in the modern personal computer is the Hard Disk Device (HDD).The HDD is an example of a magnetic storage media. Other example are tape drives, and floppy disks. Other types of storage are Optical (CD's and DVD's) and solid state devices like flash drives.
The most important advantage of disk storage over tape storage?
disk storage-> direct data access storage tape storage -> serial data access storage
What magnetic storage device is most commonly used as a backup device?
tape drive
Which component is field-replaceable in most mobile devices?
There are mainly 3 mobile device parts that are field-replaceable, There are no field-serviceable parts for mobile devices.Battery - Some mobile device batteries can be replaced. (Iphone's, for example, can not.) these can be bought at many retail stores, like Futureshop, or where you bought your phone.Memory card - Many mobile devices use memory cards for storage, these can be bought and put into your phone to supplement existing storage, or will be the phones only method of storage for non necessary data. Some phones come with memory cards, but they are usually quite small. You can buy a new memory card with a bigger capacity at many stores, like Futureshop or Bestbuy.Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card -This small card contains information used to authenticate a device to mobile telephone and data services. SIM cards can also hold user data such as contacts and text messages. these can be bought at many stores, from 711 to future shop.
Which storage devices holds most data?
Hold drives can hold the most data of any storage device. They can contain up to a few terabytes now and they are becoming bigger and bigger everyday.
What is storage hierarchy?
Computer storage devices include any hardware that stores data. The most common type of storage device is a hard drive. The computer's primary hard drive stores the operating system, applications, and files and folders for users of the computer.While the hard drive is the most known of all storage devices, other common types exist as well. Flash memory devices, such as USB drives and iPod nanos are popular ways to store data in a small, portable format. Other types of flash memory, such as compact flash and SD cards, are popular ways to store digital camera images.External hard drives which use USB and Firewire sockets are common too. These types of drives are often used for video and photo storage, backing up internal hard drives, or for simply adding extra storage. Tape drives are another type of storage device. They are an older technology and use reels of tape to store data. They are typically used for backing up data.Storage device hierarchy is comprised of the settings that determine the order that the storage devices are accessed. While that has traditionally been determined by the cable positions and jumpers on the drives, this is now a CMOS setting as well. The reason for that is because there are so many different types of storage devices, and any of them can be bootable. So without such a CMOS setting, there is no way for the bootloader and OS to know the order of the drives.
Is a biometric device a input or output device?
Most biometric devices would be input devices although they may also utilize storage devices and output devices in their functioning. A biometric device usually takes in biometric information about a person and compares it to information stored in a database - much like username/password methods of authentication compare the username and password to the stored information for a user. Fingerprint scanners, read the fingerprint, convert it to a data stream and then compare it to the stored data previously recorded for the individual, retinal scanners read information about the retinal patterns of a user, convert it to data and compare it to stored data, etc. Note that biometric devices must rely on a storage device, but usually the storage device is not part of the biometric device. Instances of OUTPUT associated with a biometric device might be a signal to open a door or trigger an alarm, but again, the output usually comes from another device that the biometric device is connected to.
Of the flash memory device used in digital cameras which uses the latest technology and holds the most data?
the latest storage methode is a usb stick, xD-Picture card
The most common way to input data into the computer is through what?
An input device. In fact it is the ONLY way to input data into a computer. However, the most common input device is the computer's hard-drives or mass-storage devices (which are also output devices), followed by the mouse and keyboard.
Which storage device is the most expensive for 1 gigabyte of storage?
SRAM, what the cache on your CPU is.
